Raytheon BBN Technologies has been awarded a $12.2 million DARPA cyber defense contract.
The contract, part of the Edge-Directed Cyber Technologies for Reliable Mission Communication (EdgeCT) program, will focus on information flow over wide area networks.
“The Raytheon BBN-led team seeks to develop an intrinsically robust overlay network, interconnecting users through secure connections,” said a Raytheon news release.
“Through these connections, the software could continuously monitor events in the larger network and their effect on traffic flow. The overlay network may also exchange information between nodes in each user group about network conditions and then dynamically configure the way the network handles application traffic to maximize performance so that critical communications are transmitted as quickly as possible.”
